I couldn't agree more. Thanks!

It was definitely one of my favorite trips this year. I've had some good interactions with other fisherman out on the water this year. It gives me hope that camaraderie between fisherman is not dead! Thanks!

Wow, thanks! I really appreciate that. It was one of the most fun fishing trips I've had in awhile!

I spend a lot of nights searching and nothing happens. That makes it even more special when you finally hit it right and the bite is on! Thanks!

Ya, I was way late for work that day but I wasn't about to leave one of the best topwater bites I have seen. Thanks for watching!

The adrenaline rush when the fish are firing like this is hard to explain! I had to take a few minutes and calm down after it was all over!

Me too. I hardly ever see them this fired up but when I do it's usually one of my better fishing days of the year.

Oh Ya! Glad you liked it! Thanks!

It was like a scene from National Geographic. They didn't even care that my boat was there which was pretty cool. Thanks!

@@BackroadsAngling This looked very similar to how it is on a lake I fish in Kansas during spring and lake fall. Fish on!

My best day in quite awhile! Thank you!

My best trip in awhile. Thanks!

Yes, it's very similar. Just replace the hatching bugs with cornered shad and you've got a recipe for some topwater madness! Thanks!

It's always a present surprise when you stumble onto a school like that!

Yes, I keep forgetting my net when I go on these trips and sometimes it costs me with a hook to the hand. Thanks!

Every now and then if you are out there enough times you catch it right and the fish practically jump in the boat. This was one of those times!

I've been thinking about getting a different boat but for this type of fishing my boat is just about perfect. Yes the people I've been encountering lately have been very polite and willing to share so that has been nice. A lot of new people checking out the channel lately. It's nice to feel like I'm putting out something worth watching! Thank you!

Not only is the boat portable but the fish don't seem to notice it when I'm sitting still. I often look down and see fish swimming underneath me. The thunder was brought by both me and the fish. Thanks!

The warm weather and sundown/sunrise blowups can't come soon enough! Thanks for watching!

Yes it was the most fun I've had on the water in awhile. I hope you can get on some aggressive wipers sometime. It's such a blast!

Yes a lot of different names for them but no matter what you call them they are a blast! I hear you guys have some giants in Oklahoma! I hope to get down there some day to try it.

@@BackroadsAngling I haven't caught any crazy big ones down here. They are heavily fished down here so they don't get as big as you think they would. Now I have seen some big wipers caught down here and some good sized largemouth bass.

@My Classic Car Story ohhhh you're missing out my friend! April and May. Find the dams before the flood gates open and you'll rewarded day time for wipers and whitebass, evening for monster stripers.

Thanks!

Go get em!

It's pretty tasty. Next time I will keep some!

This was one of my favorite trips of the year. Probably the most aggressive school of white bass I've been on.

I’ll be in Iowa in the fall. I’m trying to find spots out for a 3 day trip lol.

Thanks for watching! Most of the videos I film are in Iowa. Many of the bigger lakes here are stocked with white bass and wipers.

I like to use a swim bait for the subsurface fish but a spoon is a deadly option as well!

Thanks! I will check out your channel.

I think it just varies by body of water. In my lake they are keying so heavily on shad that match my plopper in size and color. They can't help but smash it. Also, they are really pinning shad to the surface in this lake which makes a topwater the perfect bait. If a rooster tail was working then maybe they were looking for bait that was under the surface instead of on top.

@@BackroadsAngling Thank you for the details & suggestion. Do you know that they have Whopper Plopper with size smaller than 9? I think at our lake the white bass are chasing smaller shad so I would like to try with other settings of the lures. Thank you.

@ They do make a 75mm and 60mm plopper. Those might be a better size for the white bass you are chasing.

@@BackroadsAngling Thank you!

Yes the bite was on fire. Thank you! I don't share my locations but there are a lot of clues in the video that some will be able to figure out.

@@BackroadsAngling haha no I understand. Maybe one day we should fish together and meet up in iowa. Always wamted to try for wipers in iowa. If only we have wipers here in south dakota

Sure felt like it on this day. There were a few points when I couldn't avoid catching a fish even if I was trying to keep it away from them.

I went and bought a floating fish basket right after this. I could have taken home a nice pile on this day.

I bought this boat about 25 yrs ago and I can't remember what company made it. The logo has long worm off. I love it and I think the fact that I've had it so long speaks to that. I've taken it through thick and thin over rocks snd branches etc and it just won't pop or break. I've thought about getting a kayak but portability is very important to me. There are many situations where I carry my boat into a very difficult launch spot that I wouldn't be able to get a kayak into. I would recommend it especially to anyone who wants an extreme portability.

@@BackroadsAngling 25 years definitely speaks to the quality of your pontoon. Thanks again for the information... I've loved watching your hybrid video too by the way!!!
